Former AEW Women's World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. has been out of action for over a year. Speculation about her return is building, fueled by a fan interaction, comments from Tony Khan and contractual factors.
The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation regarding the potential return of former AEW Women's World Champion, Dr. Britt Baker , D.M.D. It has been over a year since her last match, leaving fans eager for her comeback. Recent developments, including a social media post and comments from AEW President Tony Khan, have fueled the anticipation surrounding her return to the squared circle.
The situation is further complicated by contract considerations, adding a layer of intrigue to her future with the company. While the exact timing remains uncertain, the pieces are slowly falling into place, hinting at a possible return that could significantly impact the women's division.\Adding to the speculation, a fan's public expression of longing for Britt Baker's return on X (formerly Twitter) caught her attention. She responded to the fan's post with the simple yet revealing caption, 'Not up to me.' This seemingly passive statement has been interpreted by many as an indication that she is open to a return, contingent on the company's call. Furthermore, the actions of other wrestlers are hinting toward a comeback. A moment on AEW programming involved 'The Baddest Woman on the Planet' and her good friend making a gesture toward the former AEW Women's World Champion. This gesture suggested a desire for a fight, and such subtle moments often serve to build anticipation for future matches and rivalries. AEW President Tony Khan has also offered his insights, emphasizing Baker's high standing and respect within the promotion. Khan stated that he expects her to return, but he refrained from specifying a timeframe, leaving fans and analysts to speculate. This guarded optimism from the company's head continues to fuel rumors and discussions around the much-anticipated comeback. The roster has evolved significantly during Baker's absence, promising new and fresh match-ups upon her return, which is a key factor for the company.\Beyond the wrestling drama, the contractual status of Dr. Baker also plays a significant role in her potential return timeline. She signed a five-year contract extension in 2021, putting her on course to become a free agent either late this year or early in 2027. This impending free agency adds a layer of complexity to the situation, as the company may aim to renegotiate or extend her contract further to retain her services. The decision on her contract could impact her return and the direction of the women's division. As such, the outcome of these negotiations will be a key factor in determining when and if Britt Baker returns to AEW. The situation remains fluid, and further updates will be provided as more details surface. The wrestling community will be watching eagerly, as every development, whether a tweet, a comment, or a match, has implications for one of the company's top stars.
